@copilot How does the extension rearrange tabs without this permission? Can you explain with links to the code?

Good question. It still works because the extension only uses tab operations + non-sensitive tab fields, which are allowed without the tabs permission.

Code paths:

It does not read restricted fields like url, title, favIconUrl, etc., so broad tabs permission is unnecessary here. The permission change is in commit 012afc9.
